Key Points

Creates a dedicated VA phone line for questions about veterans’ job training and rehab services, and requires each VA regional office to post clear contact info online.
Requires VA staff who help with these services to join monthly Q&A sessions with school officials, so colleges can better guide veterans to the right help.
Requires VA counselors to give in-person briefings at schools in their region about available services; schools more than 150 miles away can get a virtual briefing.
Requires the VA to approve or deny a veteran’s request to extend their rehab program time within 30 days of the request.
Makes the VA report to Congress every year on how often extension requests are made, approved, and denied, adding more public accountability.
